Silver Into Rain

Strange Harbors

Goodbye (Again)

"Calpurnia here, my wife, stays me at home. She dreamt tonight she saw my statue, which, like a fountain with an hundred spouts, did run pure blood; and many lusty Romans came smiling, and did bathe their hands in it. And these does she apply for warnings and portents and evils imminent, and on her knee hath begged that I will stay at home today." Caesar did not stay home and later that morning was assassinated. 80 Summers is inspired by the dreams of Calpurnia, Procula, and other virtuous women...

Lyrics:
Ever-changing and revealing itself 
In every maiden lay a prophetess 
The dark and comely wisdom of a queen
Like a moonbow in a new sundress yes

Take my breath, take my last name
Marry Mary Magdalene 
Bone of my bone
Body make your eyes roll

Holy vision given woman 
Dreaming dreams and I believe them

Eighty summers in your natural born life
Countless lovers, but you only get one wife
And when your sun sets, whether good or bad
Did you love her, did you do your best yes

Take my breath, take my last name
Calpernia saw it in a dream
Bone of my bone
Body make your eyes roll
Jump my bones
I'll make your eyes roll

Goodbye (Again)
